• Recommended for Beginning and Intermediate Photographers
  If you're a beginning or intermediate photographer looking to learn more about exposure and lighting, then this is the book for you. It's easy to follow - with plenty of good illustrations. After you read this book you'll be able to take your digital camera off "Auto" and get control of your photos. I especially enjoyed the "Pro Tips" that are located throughout the book.

  I stopped at Chapter 7 when I've read "Apertures toward the extremes of the range often tend to exhibit somewhat less sharpness and more distortion". The statement is correct regarding sharpness but not true regarding distortion (which doesn't change with aperture but does change on a zoom with focal length).
  I do not recommend this book.

• Good Instruction
  This book is for the beginning photographer who wants to learn how to capture better images. It provides a fair amount of technical information but in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this to anyone who isn't happy with their "point and shoot" behaviors.
